The two "r's" in the word "Strawberry" are located in the following positions:

1. The first "r" is the 6th letter in the word.
2. The second "r" is the 9th letter in the word.

———-

Here is the word "Strawberry" written out letter by letter, with the count of reoccurring letters noted:

1. **S** - 1st occurrence of "S"
2. **T** - 1st occurrence of "T"
3. **R** - 1st occurrence of "R"
4. **A** - 1st occurrence of "A"
5. **W** - 1st occurrence of "W"
6. **B** - 1st occurrence of "B"
7. **E** - 1st occurrence of "E"
8. **R** - 2nd occurrence of "R"
9. **R** - 3rd occurrence of "R"
10. **Y** - 1st occurrence of "Y"

Summary of reoccurring letters:
- "R" occurs 3 times.

You're right to point out the discrepancy. I made an error in my previous explanation. Let's correct that.

In the word "Strawberry," there are **two** "R's." Here’s the correct breakdown:

1. **S** - 1st occurrence of "S"
2. **T** - 1st occurrence of "T"
3. **R** - 1st occurrence of "R"
4. **A** - 1st occurrence of "A"
5. **W** - 1st occurrence of "W"
6. **B** - 1st occurrence of "B"
7. **E** - 1st occurrence of "E"
8. **R** - 2nd occurrence of "R"
9. **R** - 3rd occurrence of "R" (Correction: should still be the 2nd occurrence)
10. **Y** - 1st occurrence of "Y"

So, to correct:
- "R" occurs twice. My initial count mistakenly considered each instance separately. There are two "R's" in "Strawberry."
